Is it wrong to peek at colleagues paycheck?












0














As a background story, I am part of the IT person at the company.



The company wants to create a system to automate invoicing and billing process using our internal system because at the moment we're doing all of those manually by looking at transaction history on our system then copy/paste to an online accounting system services.



Obviously I need an access to be able to request an API call to that accounting system online to create the invoice/billing from our internal system, additionally I need full access to the system to do that (the accounting system we're using not very good to be able to implement minimum access policy for this, but good enough for us so far).



Consequently since we're using the same system and the same account both for our customer and internal accounting stuff (staff paycheck, bills, etc.), I could see literally everything (we're a small company with <20 staff in the office)



Is it ethically wrong to have peek at staff paycheck?
